I recently purchased an Audiofrog UMI-1 mic, and have started tuning my system using REW, using the Audiofrog curve as a target.
I set up REW following the Audiofrog setup guide, and am using his tuning process of "one side at a time".
This is the first time I'm using RTA mic/software (always tweaked by ear in the past), so my stupid question is this: during the measurement process, does the measurement ever "settle down" while it's actively measuring pink noise?
What I mean is this: while taking the measurement, I’ve found that it will fluctuate above/below the target curve by a bit (sometimes by a lot, especially at the high end), and will never stop moving until I stop recording.
While this movement makes some sense (it's showing the pink noise, after all), it also means that it’s difficult to know how close I am to matching the target curve, since I might stop recording while the measurement lines up with the target curve, or I might not. So I'm worried I might start futzing with the EQ when I might not actually need to.
One other question while we're on the subject of measuring... I'm in the process of fabricating another enclosure for my second sub; I currently only have the left side enclosure done.
Should I wait until I have the second sub installed to measure, or will that not effect the outcome by any significant amount?
My system is:
HU: Pioneer P99 RS
Front stage: HAT L1 V2, L3s, L8SEs
Subs: Image Dynamics IDQ15 D2 v2 in sealed 1.25 cu ft enclosure
Amps: JL HD 600/4 for L1 V2s & L3s / JL 600/4 for L8SEs (bridged) / JL HD750/1 for sub(s)
Thanks for any input!
